Close-in small planets occur at ~5–16% around cold-Jupiter hosts, with no strong overall correlation at average stellar mass/metallicity, but elevated rates in dynamically stable inner regions.

abstract
We present an analysis of microlensing event OGLE-2016-BLG-0693, based on the survey-only microlensing observations by the OGLE and KMTNet groups. In order to analyze the light curve, we consider the effects of parallax, orbital motion, and baseline slope, and also refine the result using a Galactic model prior. From the microlensing analysis, we find that the event is a binary composed of a low-mass brown dwarf 49+-20 M_J companion and a K- or G-dwarf host, which lies at a distance 5.0+-0.6 kpc toward the Galactic bulge. The projected separation between the brown dwarf and its host star is less than 5 AU, and thus it is likely that the brown dwarf companion is located in the brown dwarf desert.

The GAPS Programme with HARPS-N at TNG LXXVII. Occurrence rates of small close-in planets in the presence of cold Jupiters
Close-in small planets occur at ~5–16% around cold-Jupiter hosts, with no strong overall correlation at average stellar mass/metallicity, but elevated rates in dynamically stable inner regions.
